I have decorated my Easter tree which is autumnal this year, as still unable to come home to the uk,with my old family Easter decorations & your tree is adorable with delightful decorations & the spring blossom & catkins are 🌸🌸 lovely 🐣🐣🐣 I am sat watching & eating a chocolate chip hot cross bun.😀 while watching this afternoon. I have done some hard boiled eggs today 🥚 coloured with cochineal dye (pink) which is a tradition my Grandma would do & on Easter Sunday we would then go onto the North Yorkshire Moors, where my Grandparents farm is & roll our eggs & see who’s egg would go the furthest before a large family get together also with a leg of lamb & a homemade Simnel Cake, all decorated with marzipan eggs. Easter is celebrated just as much as Christmas too in my family. Today I have received provisions from home & Bettys, Yorkshire Gingerbread,Simnel Cake,Chocolate Praline Eggs & a Yorkshire Sloe Gin Fruit Cake,so we are all set for Easter weekend & beyond. Lovely 📚 book selection & a lovely gift 💝 from your Mum. Wishing you both a Happy Easter.🐣💛🌼🐰& see you for Tea Reads & more Easter treats this Friday.💛Your my home away from home.(Yorkshire)
Beautiful video, Donna I.hioe you are feeling better now after your vaccination. I feel almost duty bound to search for 'Alisons Easter Adventure' given the cover; we quite often wore our kilts for days out etc when I was little, and when we moved to our current village, the first Sunday in our new house, I looked out of the kitchen window and several small boys were going to church in their kilts, looking very angelic! I always remember that. Love what your said about one of the Easter books being 'imprinted' on you Muranda, that is such an apposite description, and is exactly how I feel.about favourite books. I don't even have to read them any more, they are just imprinted on me! X
I do enjoy your videos. It’s like visiting with family. The Easter tree is gorgeous. I’ve ordered some ornaments from Elizabeth Harbour. Your tree really showed how lovely they are. Thank you both again for a delightful escape.
Everything was delightful, from the decorated branches and rabbit ring to the books and Easter family history. I wish I could bottle your and your mum's good cheer. Looking forward to your Friday Tea Reads. Until then, wishing you both a wonderful week!
I grow up with maps and clues for the finding of the Easter Egg! And now we do it for our kids and they love it as well! Easter “tree” is a most but we have colorful feathers in it plus small wood eggs to hang.
Your Easter tree is marvelous, so beautiful...💗I make one too with whatever branches I can find, it’s so joyful with those pastel spring colours. Thank you so much for this lovely video, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s always a pleasure to spend time with you and your mum.☺️🌼☀️✨🐣💛
What a sweet Easter tree! I love the way you decorated it - oh, it brought a smile to my face :D I also love The Country Bunny! My mom used to read that to me and I still have my hardcover copy. It's so wonderful. I read it the morning of Easter and I can't wait for Sunday. The ornaments are very lovely and I'll have to buy some. I used to have a white Easter tree and I must go and find it. Thank you for such a cheerful video! Hugs to you and Donna! xoxo :D
Thank you so much, Gina! I hope you managed to find your tree. I'm so pleased with the Elizabeth Harbour decorations; I think they look so sweet! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend xxx
Dear Miranda and Donna. Iam going through memory lane and enjoying your last year videos.Love listening to Donna telling us all you’re traditions for Easter .Miranda I miss watching you twice a week,but We know you are a busy girl....🌸🐰
Hallo Donna and Miranda! What a beautiful Eastern's tree! Great selection of books too! I also love chocolate so I am really looking forward to Sunday!
Your Easter tree looks beautiful, I love the Elizabeth Harbour decorations. With everything that we've all been going through it feels particularly important to mark occasions and enjoy the rituals, and chocolate. Lovely book choices, too. You are so lucky to know Christopher Brown, I have a great Miss Marple print by him that I bought at a St Judes sale - his work is so appealing and witty. Make the most of the lovely weather. See you both on Friday! 🐰🐥💖
I so agree - definitely important to enjoy the rituals and chocolate, haha! I love the wit and detail in Christopher Brown's work too - he's so talented and so kind. How fun to have a Miss Marple print by him! xxx
Such a lovely tree! I enjoyed hearing your wonderful family memories. I live in the mountains of Colorado. We have snow still and I long to see tulips and daffodils. Thank you for sharing yours.
What a beautiful tree, I’ve been looking at Elizabeth Harbour’s website after seeing your lovely tree decorations, I’m going to treat myself to one, or several 🤣 Don’t you just love it when you come across something you long ago put away for safe keeping and then immediately forgot where the safe place was!! Your mum’s long lost gift was very special, what an exciting turn up 💫 I’m assuming you’ve both had your jabs, you look very well and not suffering with any nasty side affects. ‘See’ you on Friday ladies, hope the weather holds out for you both, it’s been fabulous here in Buckinghamshire 🌞
It's definitely hard to just buy one of her ornaments, I find!! They're so charming. Mum has had her vaccine, yes. I'm at the end of the week so Tea Reads will be filmed beforehand this week. We're enjoying the sunshine too. Have a lovely week! xxx
Happy Easter to you both. My 23 year old daughter asked me this morning if I was still going to hide her Easter egg (eggs) in the garden. She's promised to help with the Good Friday brunch. Got to love traditions.
Another lovely uplifting video from you. The blossom tree is beautiful. I have an artificial one that I decorate with painted eggs ( mostly purchased from holidays in Germany ). I so look forward to your posts - thank you ❤️
Happy Easter to you both. What a lovely celebratory video for the Easter season thank you so much for re-igniting so many wonderful memories from years ago when my children were small (I wonder what I did with all our decorations, a visit to the attic might find them!). Have a wonderful week and hope to see you both again here soon, Teresa 🌸📚🐣🐰🌸
Oh my goodness we have Country Bunny and I used to read this to my son ❤️ While I do not always comment, I always watch and enjoy the discussions you have with your Mum ❤️
Happy Easter, Miranda and Donna! 🐇🌷 I love hearing about all of the traditions that Donna created when you were a child, Miranda. Almost makes me want to write some down for when I have children someday! ☺️
Oh, how wonderful! Our Easter is on May 2nd (we're Orthodox Christians), so I feel fortunate to be able to use your lovely ideas in a few week's time. I've just placed an Elizabeth Harbor order for two black swan ornaments... I could no longer resist after seeing your beautiful Christmas tree and Easter tree decorations!
A delightful video, as always, and I especially loved being reminded of book The Country Bunny! I have owned a copy for years that I found at a yard sale but, for some reason, I've never read it to any of my grandchildren. I was not familiar with the story, but now that I am, I will definitely be finding a chance to share it!
So lovely to hear of all these books. Sadly I can't get them here in Germany. But it is so nice to hear of them and to see their covers. Have a wonderful weekend ❣ I wish I could "follow" you on a reading/book picnic outside....📚
Thank you for your book recommendations! I somehow missed Masha by Mara Kay, have added that one to my Tbr list. By the way, you pronounced Smolny Institute correctly.
I saved this to watch Easter weekend, and I’m so glad I did. Your tree is gorgeous but I loved most all the stories and wonderful memories you both shared with us. You and your mum are such a delight and a wonderful gift to your subscribers.🥰

Thank you! It’s ornamental cherry blossom and the branches are willow 😊🌸
Loved this!
Your decorations are just delightful Miranda. A very Happy Easter to you and Donna 🐰🐰🐰
Thank you! You too!
What a treat! And I just had to dig out my old Brambly Hedge address book. The mice were great decorators, weren't they?
Yes, so adorable! xxx
If you are still looking for The Easter Holiday book there is a signed copy on eBay at the moment, but it’s rather expensive!
You two are so creative! 😍 It’s a beautiful tree! Hope you both have a lovely Easter time. 🐰
Thank you so much, Julie! You too xxx
Happy Easter, Miranda and Donna! 💛
So lovely to hear of all these books.
Sadly I can't get them here in Germany. But it is so nice to hear of them and to see their covers.
Have a wonderful weekend ❣
I wish I could "follow" you on a reading/book picnic outside....📚
Thank you! Enjoy your weekend too xxx
Thank you for your book recommendations! I somehow missed Masha by Mara Kay, have added that one to my Tbr list. By the way, you pronounced Smolny Institute correctly.
Thanks so much! I hope you can track down 'Masha' - it's a wonderful read. I love its sequel ('The Youngest Lady in Waiting') too! xxx
@@MirandaMills Wow! Thank you! It even has a continuation))) looking forward to reading both books now)))
Oh!!!such a great tree!!!thanks for sharing!!I always wanted a tablecloth like this!where is from? Thanks :)
Thanks! My mum made the tablecloth from Liberty fabric that we bought many years ago!
I saved this to watch Easter weekend, and I’m so glad I did. Your tree is gorgeous but I loved most all the stories and wonderful memories you both shared with us. You and your mum are such a delight and a wonderful gift to your subscribers.🥰
Beautiful creative tree. Happy Easter.
